Braves' Spencer Strider: Fans eight in quality start
Rotowire
Strider (5-13) took the loss Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over six innings as Atlanta fell 6-1 to the Cubs. He struck out eight.
While he got outdueled by Chicago rookie Cade Horton, Strider looked a little more like his usual dominant self in this one. The Atlanta right-hander's eight Ks were his highest total since July 18, and he racked up 32 called or swinging strikes among his 97 pitches (60 total strikes). Strider's quality start was his ninth in 20 outings this season, and over his last three trips to the mound he sports a 3.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, albeit with a lackluster 12:8 K:BB in 18 innings. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Nationals.
Strider isn't starting Sunday's game against the Mariners and will instead take the mound Tuesday against the Cubs, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Atlanta indicated that the decision isn't injury-related, so the organization is seemingly just looking to get Strider some extra rest during the final stretch of the season. It's been an underwhelming campaign for the right-hander, who missed a month early in the season due to a hamstring injury and has a 4.97 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 106:41 K:BB across 101.1 innings. Joey Wentz is moving up in the rotation to start Sunday's series finale versus Seattle.
Braves' Spencer Strider: Strikes out one in no-decision

Strider did not factor into the decision in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks with a strikeout over five-plus innings.
Strider turned in a passable but underwhelming outing Monday, managing just one strikeout -- his lowest mark of the season. The right-hander has shown flashes of effectiveness but hasn't come close to regaining the dominance he displayed prior to injuring his right elbow early in 2024. Through 19 starts this season, the 26-year-old carries a 4.97 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 101.1 innings, with a 9.4 K/9 sitting well below his peak production.
